I have 1 6 week old buff orpington (first 3 pics), and then a 4 week old Easter egger (last 2 pics) & 4 week old Brahma (2nd 3 pics). I'm getting so confused on how to tell if they are roosters or hens!? HELP! I can post more pictures if needed

The buff is most likely a cockerel w the large dark comb at that age. The other two still look like pullets, but that could change in the next few weeks. I'm still new myself but still like to guess.

Male has no talent. Hen has tale
 
Thank you all! Here is some more pictures of there heads! Brahma- 1st two Easter egger- 2nd two

They were born on same day and Easter egger is definitely more feathered and a little bigger then the Brahma! Is it true brahmas grow slower? Thanks!!

Neither are standing out as male to me yet, but I'd watch that EE.
